Essential Newborn Care, Unang Yakap Campaign

The Department of Health embarked on Essential Newborn Care , a new program to address neonatal deaths in the country. Under the umbrella of the Unang Yakap Campaign, Essential Newborn Care is an evidenced based strategic intervention aimed at improving newborn care and helping cub neonatal mortality.

@Kristine : I used to be connected with a government agency for 16 years, I am now more into teaching nursing students in a private university for the past 6 years. I handle maternal /child health and medical surgical nursing subjects. I have also a master degree in public health. You may want to suggest topics for my future blog. Thanks for the visit.

@DANDY: Unang Yakap or essential newborn care is directed towards health care provider in caring for the newborn.It aims to decrease neonatal mortality rate. If your question for a study you are doing, might as well be specific with your subjects.

I just want to ask if there is an available standardized questionaire for the Essential Newborn Care, Unang Yakap Campaign of the DOH because I’m doing a research study for my masteral class.. I want to know if all the hospitals here in Bulacan are complying to the DOH program and assess if that program is effective.. It would be of great help for me to conduct my study… Thank you and Godbless…

dear Dra.,
good day.
I would like to ask if there is already a Philippine made standardized questionnaire (research tool) for Unang Yakap? I am doing a research study about the level of awareness and practices of the health care providers here in our place.
God bless.
